We interrupt this series…
I had to slip this in now instead of waiting until the end of the screen writing series. I needed to vent. My friend, who shall remain nameless (Christine), is sick. Really sick. Light headed. Coughing. Stuffy. Actually wants to go to the doctor. Sick. So what did she do yesterday? Stay in bed and drink hot liquids? Rest all day so she could get better? No. She went to work. And why did she go to work? Because she’s the only trainer. Now I say, let someone else fill in if they can or send the clients home. Her health is more important. She thinks the clients and her work are more important. Will her company think she’s unreliable if she calls in sick? Maybe. If they’re unreasonable and unfeeling. But her company is an Employer of Choice. So why on earth go into work when you’re that sick? Because she has that complex. That - the whole world will end if I’m not there to stop it complex. And she does what all good mothers do. Puts herself last. That’s fine when it comes to your children. Although I don’t believe mothers should put themselves last. But it’s definitely not fine when you put your job ahead of your health. Okay finished venting.
Part 4 of the series will be up tomorrow.
Until next time…
